Are you allowed to share the detail of your solicitor? Are you in London? Hello everyone, I am very very happy, alhamdulilah we got the visa yesterday.. Its a v big relief, can't explain in words... We waited so long and went through so much ups and downs... Just want to give advice that hire a good...
Well, with a 10 year old you could even have applied for a British Citizenship. Congrats!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, you got it!! Congrats!!! Happy for you buddy. Good advice about not changing solicitor. I was about to change mine but had a meeting yesterday and felt good about moving forward with our ap...
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay, you got it!! Congrats!!! Happy for you buddy. Good advice about not changing solicitor. I was about to change mine but had a meeting yesterday and felt good about moving forward with our appeal. You said your case was similar to mine right? Your visa didn't come after an appeal d...
Could you also please share how the school helped your case? Thanks Hi all, Got an email from solicitor today saying our application has been refused. I will post my timeline another time... Very difficult to swallow right now but at least they gave us right of appeal. :( :( :( My question is : Do w...
Hey GB1210, Thank you so much for your message and encouragement, it means a lot. Can you explain a bit more about your case? The reason why HO refused your application and how was the hearing? I have a solicitor and we are now preparing the case. So many new fees, barista etc... I took some time aw...
Hi Sk10, sorry for delay. The last few days have been very busy preparing everything for the appeal and also to digest the whole thing. To answer your question: My solicitor told me that a hearing date could take around 4 months but I have a friend who also had their application refused and they had...
Omo2323, I hear what you say but taking my refund and waiting until she's 10 means I would have to hide from them for another 3 years. What would stop HO coming after us now that they know who we are and where we are? The problem with finding a 7 year rule specialist is how bound are they to also on...
Hi Jin022 Thank you for your suggestion. Would you really have a go at the premium service? I never thought of it but you saying it now sounds like a better approach. I believe the solicitors being interested in making the appeal means that they can make more money out of it which they will do. If I...
Hi, Thanks for your input. A new application means paying all fees all over again right? She is 7 now not 8 but I guess being 7 fulfill the rule. I agree with Jin022. Since the reason for the refusal had to do with the number of years the child had spent in the UK, now that the child is 8, should a ...
Dear Arham208, Fear not my dear, there is a reason for everything. Part of me is at peace and so should you. They refused our claim on family life and basically everything else. Based on the 20 years rule etc.. It was a 12 page letter!! The main one and this is where I believe the critical decision ...
Hi Kap05, Thank you for your comment. Yes, we have an appeal but at the moment this is all hard to take after so much hope. I am also angered that solicitors do everything they can to take money from you and it is now clear for me that I would have probably had better chances or even spent less mone...
Hi all, Got an email from solicitor today saying our application has been refused. I will post my timeline another time... Very difficult to swallow right now but at least they gave us right of appeal. :( :( :( My question is : Do we really need to use our solicitors in order to send our appeal? Is ...
Preview: Re: FLR(FP) Application time Hi Kap05, We've also sent further documents and it has now been 2 months and nothing. What's more stressful is that on their letter they mention a decision would be made promptly upon receiving the documents. Two months is no 'promptly' at all!!! I am thinking r...
Hi all, I have previously posted a question about HO position on asking for proof that children live with their parents at the same address and the fact they mention a decision would be made promptly upon receiving the docs requested. This promptly could take between 6 to 8 weeks as I've heard but m...
Hi Jin022 People here are waiting for a long time. Some cases around 14 months other a bit less. I believe depending on the case really. I have sent my application in October last year so that's 12 months now. I have recently sent further documents in which HO said they would make a decision 'prompt...
Zee, When I contacted my local MP and he wrote to HO, on their reply letter the HO stated that if I was struggling with the same kind of struggle you're going through, that I should look for the social services in order to get help from them. We also have a 3 year old and a 7 year old both born here...
Hey Monz, Sorry to hear of your refusal but be very grateful and hopeful that at the hearing you will get your visa. I have sent them my documents on the 31st of September, haven't heard from them since then. Yours was quicker.. I have a friend who just got refused after a 16 months wait with the ri...
Hi, Hopefully it won't take as long as you already have a visa. However, I have a friend who was renewing his current 2.5 year visa and after submitting his application, HO too a year to return his papers with the visa he already has been granted long ago. So I would say be ready for anything.can I ...
Hi, welcome to the waiting team! There's a bunch of people here waiting after sending same documents requested by HO and we also have the same hope after reading they would make a decision '' promptly ''. Now, that '' promptly '' will definitely not mean within a few days as I expected. In my case, ...
Hi there, Thank you so much for your reply. It does make sense when you put it all this way. It's just hard to understand that even with all evidences they have when application is submitted that they would still need to verify. We had no problem doing so but it all adds to the wait and frustration....
Hello all, I have been wondering and wanted to know if anyone here has a take on HO's policy of sending letters out asking for proof that children live with their parents? In my own case, after 11 months since application submitted for Leave to remain (human rights), they've requested more documents...
Catbelly, First of all congrats on your visa and thanks for sharing this moment with us. I just wanted to ask : Is your partner British? Your child was obviously born here right? How old is he/she? I have a friend who applied for FLP(FP) and after a 16 months wait they were refused with in country a...
Hi, We had to submit ours by the 3rd of September and HO contacted us requesting these docs over the school holiday, such a rush... I managed to get in touch with school a day before I passed all docs on to solicitors which was posted to HO the next day 30th. Everytime I approached the school to ask...
Zee, don't think your comment is appropriate as his/her question is a legit one. Some people here got decisions in 24/48 hours after providing further docs. Other, waited longer as it is in our case. I understand it is frustrating, I am on the same boat but I think we need to understand each case is...
